Spring Break – The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

That title was originally, “the worst spring break of my life” but I decided that that was a little much. I did do some fun things during spring break even with all the bad and ugly that happened.

So, I thought I would re-cap my “lovely” week for y’all.

The Good –

*We hired a maid and they came and did a huge scrub down of the house on Tuesday morning

*My mom, sister and Grannie came in town Tuesday morning and stayed till Wednesday evening

*We hunted for Wedding dresses all day Tuesday and Wednesday

*I said Yes to a dress

*We picked a new bridesmaid dress and all 3 girls agreed and ordered

*We went to the rodeo Tuesday night and saw Miranda Lambert

*I got to meet some girlfriends for lunch on Thursday

*I played Bingo Thursday night with friends

The bad –

*John got his wisdom teeth out Wednesday

*I was sick ALL week (and still am). Strep throat turned bronchitis is NOT fun

*I didn’t get anything done that I needed to (like get my oil changed)

*Cotton had to go to the vet Friday for an ulcer on his lip

*I tried to go to the Redi-clinic at HEB on Friday night because I was still feeling like crap and the NP was a bitch and wouldn’t see me

The ugly –

My sweet boy Cotton went to Heaven on Sunday morning

I'm not ready to write about what happened yet. It'll be a long post with lots and lots of tears from me. I'm devastated. John is devastated. It was so unexpected. It still doesn't seem real. I know I need to write the post for my own memories so hopefully soon I can sit down and make it through it.

But alot of you have already texted, emailed and tweeted me and I just want to say thank you SO much. It's really amazing the impact your internet (turned in real life) friends can have.

So, even though I did have some fabulous things happen during Spring Break (LIKE FINDING MY WEDDING DRESS!!!!) it's just hard to look past the last morning... I know it'll all be ok in the end, but it's hard to see it that way right now.

Oh my goodness, Savanah, I am so sorry to hear about your precious kitty! I lost my childhood cat back in December and I'm still not over that yet. Animals, and especially cats, have such a special place in your heart and are family! I'll be thinking about you!

So sorry to hear about Cotton! Excited for your dresses! I can't wait to see all the fantastic pictures! I hate Strep. I've had it one time in my life and it was awful! Hope you're feeling better soon!

This just breaks my heart. I am SO happy you had some wonderful things happen this weekend but I understand that nothing will take away the pain you are feeling right now. Cotton was such a beautiful cat and I can tell through your words how important he was to you. Just know I am keeping you in my prayers! xoxo

OH! I really was not expecting that! I am SOOOO sorry! I know how devastating it is to lose a pet, and especially unexpectedly like that! I'm so sorry. I want to give you a huge hug right now! My heart goes out to you.

I am so sorry to hear this!! I know how much a part of the family these animals are, and it is just so hard. My heart is breaking for you. Think about the wonderful home you gave Cotton and all the wonderful memories you have. I know it's hard... keep your chin up!

First of all, congrats on finding your dress! That is so exciting! I'm glad you were able to have some fun moments during your spring break. Hope you're starting to feel better though. Being sick is no fun! Again, I am so sorry about Cotton. As you know, we unexpectedly lost a member of our family this week also. It's so hard! Writing about it on my blog was definitely sad, but I tried to make it a positive by remembering the good times we had with him. It will be nice to look back on the good times later on. Take your time with it. I know it's difficult and it hurts! I'm hear if ya need me, girlie!

I am terribly sorry to hear about your beloved Cotton passing. I know what it is like to lose a pet, especially one that is a huge part of the family. Just keep in mind that Cotton is waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge. ^_^
